Toad Lore.

TOads have much in common with
frogs, but they are Matched from spawn
that is deposited in long strings, while
frOg-spaWn Is in masses, and they have
no teeth. They are also marked by ugly
warts, which give ont an acrid but not
poisonous juice. They have tongues
whose motions, nearly as quick as light
ming, the eye cannot follow, and which
sweep in the insects they catch with
such speed that the victims ''seem to
melt into thin air. rather than to be
caught and swallowed. They can climb
pastered and whitewashed walls or
flights of steps, and even into fower-pots
whose outward sloping sides would seem
to forbid such an achievement. They
will eat nothing that is not in motion
except their own skins, which, when
they are cast off they roll up and swallow.
The muscles of their thighs and legs
strikingly resemble those of man. They
cannot breathe when their mouth is held
open. The old necromancers used them
freely and in various ways in their magic.
In some parts of England the application
of a toad is supposed TO stop bleeding,
and dried specimens are worn as charms
against rheumatism. The members of
a Deynshire family had a reputation
for curing kings evil" by means of
toads. Some Of the German peasants
are said to have a way OF crucifying
loads, which must be caught for the
purpose on Easter Sunday mornings be-
fore sunrise, then burying them in an
aat -Iill, and leaving them there till Whit
sunday, when their CLEAN and white
bones, worn in little bag around the
neck Will always make the possessoF
win in games OF chance. The 1 hioetans,

Prosperity.

There is not boy who reads this
paper who does not wish, when he
has entered into business, to prosper
In it. You are doubtless looking
forward now to that time, eager to
be out of school, so you may begin,
confident that you will succeed. You
have many of you chosen your life
profession. and are certain, no mat
ter if others have failed in that same
walk, YOU will rise to eminence. |
am not so certain of that, for | do
not know if you are going about it
in the right way. You may fail, as
thousands have before you, because
the Lord was not with them. Do
you ever study the history of Joseph,
with the idea of learning his secret
of success, and following his steps?
He certainly was a most successful
man. There are few among US now
a days, who, having been sold into
slavery in youth, finally rise to be
second only to the king. Is not that
a life worth studying? And, when
YOU have found out his secret, worth
making it your own rule of life?
The Bible tells us in simple words,
1.-The Lord was with Joseph, and he
was prosperous man." The Lord
was with him when he was first sold
into slavery. Immediately he chose
this wise Counsellor. ''And when
his master saw that the Lord was
with him, and that the Lord made
all that he did to prosper in his
hands," etc. Again, when he was
in prison we read, because the
Lord was with him, and that which
he did the Lord made it to prosper"
And so on through his whole life the
Lord was with him; and if the Lord
be with you, you will prosper in
whatever YOU undertake, and if He
is not, there is no prosperity, although
YOU may for q time seem to succeed.
Boys, going out into the world, take
with you the whole armor of God,
so you may be able to quench the
fiery darts of the many temptations
which will surely assail you. ''Be
strong. quit you like men" Ask
the Lord to be with you in all your
undertakings; and be sure YOU I'M
dertake nothing where you cannot
ask his blessing. Make that your
criterion. Draw your line where
God draws it. Let the world of bus
mess with whom you will mingle
know that you have taken Him with
YOU into your business. Be proud
to let them see the prosperity of
man whom the Lord prospers. /
suppose Joseph must have been glad
to have every one know who it was
that raised him to the high position
Of Governor Of Egypt. 1t is not
likely that he even gave his own
superior talents any great credit; it
was only, the Lord was with Joseph
and he was a prosperous man

used to relate that on one occasion Mr..
Webster had made all his preparations
tor summer tour in his own carriage
with his wife. and had drawn the
money for his travelling expenses ont
of the bank the day before his intended
departure. The next morning the New
York mail brought q letter to Mr..
Webster enclosing check for fifteen
hundred dollars as a retainer in great
land case to which MIR. Astor was ono
of the parties. This letter, with its
Enclosure. Mr.. Peabody took down to
Mr.. Webster's house. and found ham
already seated in his carriage about to
take the road to Saratoga. He gave
him the letter. ande-asked- him to in
dorse the check. But Webster put the
check in his pocket with the remark
that he might need it before he re.
turned. and so it turned out Whea
he came back to Boston the whole of
the fifteen hundred dollars had been
spent. in addition to the money he had
previously drawn.
On another occasion Mr.. Webster
had invited some friends to dinner. As
he left home in the morning he re-
queSted his wife to send John down to
the office about ten o'clock to &c TO
market with him. John came down
accordingly. Mr.. Wer,er was busy
writing. He asked John if he had any
money. John replied in the negative.
